Hi guys,
The red beams is the main problem: he hasn’t got enough of them. So he
placed an other at S@H but they are (temporary) out of the assortment.
I’ve already seen the undercarriage: gigantic! Tomorrow I will make some
pictures of it. He also started to build the superstructure. The radius will
be very big! For the ballast truck he’ll use the 24x43 weels. About the
height: in the beginning not too high. It better to start with a main beam
of approx. 2.5 metres. Than test it out and see how many pieces are left ….
I will put some images of the LTM1400 on the net soon. This crane was on
scale 1:15, together with a ballast truck. A very huge model!
